Echo Network Africa (ENA) formerly Kenya Women Holding (KWH) was founded in 1982 as a woman led, women serving development institution that works with other like minded stakeholders to empower, position and advocate for women with specific focus on young women, women with disabilities and women from marginalized communities.

The journey of the institution now known as Echo Network Africa (ENA) goes back thirty six years ago when the institution was founded under the Kenya Women Microfinance Institution (KWFT).
